Summary
Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto rejected an EU proposal to send Ukraine an additional €20 billion ($22 billion) in aid, stating Hungary will not fund arms shipments.
He instead claimed to be advocating for peace negotiations, aligning with Donald Trump’s push for a swift settlement.
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has repeatedly obstructed EU sanctions on Russia and military support for Ukraine.
While the EU extended sanctions unanimously, concerns are growing over Budapest’s opposition to unified action on Ukraine as European leaders push for stronger support.
Mate, it’s a post about Hungary, again, being an obstruction that benefits an invading nation.
If no-one were allowed to criticise another country’s leader for their actions because of their own countries appalling handling of Israel, then you wouldn’t have many who’d be allowed to speak up.
Not many countries have taken their kiddie gloves off when it comes to Israel’s genocide. However some of those countries have other values that are closer to my own than others.
Since you’re already hellbent on moving the goalpost, how about we flip this back to you. What country, state or collective has a better moral compass and has handled Israel’s atrocities well?
No, you are the one moving the goalpost.
That’s not what this is about. This is about pretending to have some higher moral values while at the same time providing support to a country committing a genocide.
Spain, Norway, Ireland, South Africa, Brazil come to mind. I’m sure there are others.
Lucky for me that I’m Norwegian then. And guess what, mine and a lot of Norwegians moral compass align with the EUs, in general. Especially now with the current regime in the US who clearly see us as adversaries or even enemies, these are our closest moral and ethical allies. At least when it comes to the Russian invasion, which again, this post is about!
Of course I’m arguing from a perceived moral high ground. Why on earth would I argue from a position where I meant I was in the wrong?
And just to be absolutely clear. There’s not a single Nation I can think of who’s handled Israel’s despicable actions in the right way. We can only hope the people in charge will see consequences for their actions. That doesn’t mean people of those nations aren’t entitled to take an ethical and moral standpoint.
I’m going to stop replying now. Have a good day
